The Farmers’ Union dinner at Ellaville Saturday May 13th was a big success.  
Large crowd in attendance coming from three counties, and several interesting 
speeches were made.

At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Chas. F. Crisp Institute Monday 
Prof. Bryant, now principal of the school at Dooling, was elected principal of 
the school here for the next scholastic year.  Other teachers elected were: 
Miss Jessie Jamerson, primary department; Miss Willie Mitchem, intermediate 
department.

The old railroad depot, for many years an eyesore, has been removed and a 
modern depot in keeping with the progressive spirit of Ellaville has been 
completed and will henceforth be used for the accommodation of the public.

Not to be outdone by our suburb Americus, Ellaville has now a full fledged 
fishing club, twenty-five of our foremost citizens having purchased the fishing 
privileges of Dozier’s mill pond from J.C. Rainey, the present owner.

At a meeting of the club Monday night Mr. H.J. Williams was elected president, 
J.H. Cheney, secretary and E.S. Hart, treasurer.  Suitable bylaws were drawn up 
and subscribed to, and it is without saying that all of the clubs, societies, 
etc., this is the most popular.
